‘... anything can happen when two teams line up for a one-off game ... ’ Josh Easby, the acting secretary of Cambridge Football Club, anticipates an exciting cup tie ...  FORGET THE league form. Forget the gap between the divisions in which we play.

When it comes to cup football, anything can happen.

Today we host our first home tie in this year’s ISPS Handa Chatham Cup, having successfully seen off Tokoroa at Strathmore Park in the preliminary round.

We look forward to the visit of Western Springs who currently top the Northern League first division table, with eight wins from as many games.

times already in this year’s Loaded WaiBOP Premiership, losing their last two games, despite playing well in both.

But all that goes out of the window for the cup match.

In just about every knockout competition in the world, teams do the unexpected and tip over teams ranked higher in their football pyramind.

Cambridge plays two tiers beneath Springs, but we can draw inspiration from the fact that in two of our past three Chatham Cup campaigns, we rattled teams from the Northern League Premier Division.

Birkenhead United, with several U-20 internationals, were sweating with the score 2-2 with less than 20 minutes to go when they finally overcame Cambridge with two late goals in 2014.

Last year, Central United were vying for the Premier League lead when our side travelled to Kiwitea Street for a second round tie.

We led 1-0 and our supporters cheered two spectacular goals as we went down fighting 4-2 and enjoyed a great day out.

Anything can happen when two teams line up for a one-off game. Winning starts with believing it’s possible!

Reds go in search of Chatham Cup glory  CAMBRIDGE play their biggest game of the season so far when they host Auckland’s Western Springs in football’s oldest cup competition this Saturday.

The Chatham Cup, sponsored by ISPS Handa, is New Zealand’s premier knockout competition and has been contest since 1923.

It creates the opportunity for clubs such as Cambridge to cause upsets against bigger clubs who play at a higher level.

On Saturday, Western Springs will visit John Kerkhof Park (2pm kick off ) as one of the leading teams in the Northern League first division, a competition two tiers above the Loaded WaiBOP Premiership in which Cambridge plays.

Springs are coached by former All Whites assistant coach Neil Emblen and contain several players with national league experience, as well as New Zealand U-20 international George Debenham.

Cambridge have a decent record in the cup, having performed well against top Auckland clubs such as Birkenhead United who struggled to beat the Reds 4-2 in 2014, and past cup winner Central United who beat Cambridge 4-2 at Kiwitea Street last year.

Cambridge beat Tokora 4-1 in the preliminary round of this year’s cup and Saturday’s tie is one of 47 first round ties with 17 clubs receiving byes.

While the September cup final may seem a distant dream, Cambridge can focus on the challenge of setting a new club record if it can progress to at least the third round of the competition.

Since first entering the competition in the 1960s, Cambridge has reached the third round on 12 occasions but never gone one step further.

Other teams from the Waikato/Bay of

Plenty have proven it is possible to reach the latter stages of competition.

Huntly Thistle (1971) and Ngaruawahia (1984) both reached the fifth rounds, while Waikato United were beaten finalists in 1992, losing 3-1 to Wellington’s Miramar Rangers.

Rotorua City – who now play in the same Loaded WaiBOP Premiership as Cambridge – lost the 1989 final 7-1 to Christchurch United.

Our best dozen cup runs Cambridge’s Chatham Cup record – best performances 1972: 3rd round – lost 3-2 to Claudelands Rovers (who went on to 5th round) 1974: 3rd round – lost 7-1 to Hamilton 1984: 3rd round – lost 3-1 to Lynndale (Auckland) 1994: 3rd round – lost 6-2 to Mt Wellington (Auckland) who have won the trophy seven times 1995: 3rd round – lost 4-2 to Mt Wellington (Auckland) 1996: 3rd round – lost 5-1 to University of Auckland 1999: 3rd round – lost 3-2 to Mt AlbertPonsonby (Auckland) 2004: 3rd round – lost 5-1 to Lynn-Avon United (Auckland) 2005: 3rd round – lost 2-1 to Whakatane Town 2007: 3rd round – lost 4-0 to Manurewa (Auckland) 2008: 3rd round – lost 1-0 to Forrest HillMilford United (Auckland) 2014: 3rd round – lost 4-2 to Birkenhead United (Auckland), the 2016 cup winners

$100 sports vouchers  CLUB SPONSOR Annette Breen is

giving members and the parents of junior players the chance to get $100 vouchers to buy sportsgoods at Cambridge retailer Sportsworld.

Annette is an insurance advisor and as a special offer to our club, she’s offering the $100 vouchers to those who take new policies through her before the end of June.

Annette provides advice on a range of insurance services including family health insurance, income protection, mortgage protection, life insurance and trauma.

More details on page 10.

 OUR CLUB needs help from a few

volunteers to ensure we continue to provide the best possible facilities and support for our senior and junior players.

Our juniors need a few volunteers willing to run the club shop on Saturday mornings on a roster basis. It’s just a few hours but makes a huge difference.

We also need volunteers to help clean the junior facilities. This can be done at a time to suit and isn’t overly time-consuming.

And we’re still looking for someone to lead the planning of this year’s RICOH Quiz Night.

It takes place on August 12 and we need a good organiser to help make it a success.

We have a detailed written guide to help deliver what’s needed, and you’ll be supported by others who have worked on the quiz in previous years.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL CAMBRIDGE have moved to the top of the Waikato Women’s A division with an emphatic 11-0 win against Hamilton Wanderers.

Scorers were Bethanee Witt (5), Andie Rogers (3), Rachel Westend, Kura Fallena and Astrid Howarth.

Cambridge lead Tokoroa on goal difference and the two unbeaten leaders meet this Sunday (May 14) at Strathmore Park in a match that could play a major part in deciding end-of-season placings.

Western Springs AFC formed in 1989 but its history stretches back to 1923 and the foundation of Comrades FC. This team amalgamated with Grey Lynn FC in 1952 briefly becoming Grey Lynn Comrades United before renaming as Grey Lynn United in 1954.

In 1986, this single team combined with the New Zealand branch of the Celtic Supporters Club to form Grey Lynn Celtic.

This entity then merged with Pt Chevalier FC (founded 1943) to become Western Springs.

The club is now one of Auckland’s largest with teams in both the men’s Northern League (Div 1) and women’s Northern League.

The club’s head coach is former All Whites assistant coach and English pro Neil Emblen.

In 2012, Cambridge FC announced that John Kerkhof Park would also become the home base for Cambridge Baseball Club.  2013: Cambridge FC and the neighbouring Cambridge Harriers and Athletics Club began a partnership, enabling the football club to play some games at the adjacent athletics track while it developed John Kerkhof Park.

In 2013, the club won the Soccer Shop Waikato Plate and hosted premium events such as the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final, the Waikato v Bay of Plenty All Stars game, and the WaiBOP Women's All Stars v WaiBOP National League side.

In late 2013, the club was appointed as the home ground for five ASB Premiership matches for new franchise WaiBOP United.

This meant Cambridge became one of six bases for national league football in New Zealand (the others are Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin).

The appointment led to the club becoming an all-year operation, with investment in better facilities including upgraded playing surfaces, new changing rooms (scheduled for mid–2014) and a new irrigation system.  2014: The club's first team finished runners–up in the 2014 WaiBOP Federation Division 1, while the U-15 team won the Federation Youth League. Our women won the Waikato Women's Cup. The Cambidge Lacrosse Club moved its playing base to John Kerkhof Park in 2014.

In 2014, the club won a series of high profile awards for its work in football and in the wider community.

WaiBOP Football named the club its 2014 Club of the Year for its successful efforts to host ASP Premiership fixtures and other premium matches.

Cambridge also won two WaiBOP Best Practice awards in 2014 (for building partnerships with sponsors, and for the participation of women at our club).

The club was named Waipa District’s 2014 Supreme winner for the Truspower Community Awards, becoming only the second sports club to take this award. This

also led to the club’s nomination for the national Trustpower Community Awards to be held in Wellington in March 2015.

Cambridge completed its hat-trick of major awards in 2014, being named Waipa District’s Sports Club of the Year. We were finalists in the Waikato Sports Club of the Year while chairman Greg Zeuren was named Sports Administrator of the Year for both Waipa and the Waikato in 2014.  2015: As the club entered its 68th season, it did so as an all–year operation, providing winter football for 600+ players, spring/early summer 5-a-side football for social players and acting as a base for national league summer football.

It continued to make history — on February 6, 2015, it staged the first game of beach football by women played to FIFA rules and pitch standards in New Zealand, at the Karapiro Sandcourts.

In March 2015, construction began of the club’s $200,000 extension to its changing rooms, providing six more sets of showers/ changing rooms for local and visiting players.

On 25 May 2015, the club staged its first ever international match when Fiji and Hungary came to Cambridge for an U–20 international as preparation for the FIFA U–20 World Cup tournament.

In July 2015, our club was awarded the Quality Club Mark by New Zealand Football, becoming only the fourth club in our region to achieve the 1 Star status, and becoming

one of fewer than 30 clubs throughout the country to earn the QCM. In 2016, the club was acknowledged with a Community Services award from Corrections NZ for its work over three years, helping to provide work opportunities for those sentenced by courts to perform work in the community.  Our players Probably the club's best known past player is New Zealand international striker Chris Wood who joined English Championship club Leeds United for $4.6 million from Leicester City in July 2015.

Another former New Zealand international is Maria Anderton, who played for the Football Ferns in 1987, and captained the Cambridge women’s A team for 12 seasons until her retirement as a player in 2014.
